Shane Long is keen to enter contract negotiations at West Brom ahead of the new Premier League campaign.
The Republic of Ireland striker has been at the Hawthorns since 2011 but found himself increasingly benched last season as on-loan Chelsea forward Romelu Lukaku took the regular spot.
Despite that, he still managed to score eight goals as well as four assists leaving manager Steve Clarke eager to tie him down.
Clarke hoped that he would be able to persuade Long to extend his contract last week prior to his international duty and before his marriage on June 15 but no conclusions could be reached.
Long said: I m very happy there. I fully intend to stay but we will talk about contract situations and see what happens.
The new manager has come in this year and he has built a team that s competitive in the Premier League.
There are a few lads up in the air about contracts and it will be interesting to see what happens over the summer.
I have a year and an option, so probably two. I have still got two years left at West Brom, and that s what I am focusing on at the moment.
Long claimed he was not disheartened by playing second fiddle to Lukaku at times last term and sees the big Belgian s departure as a chance to nail down a first-team spot.
I was doing well during a lot of season and the manager said to me at the end of the season he was very happy with how I had done, the Irishman added.
It was just with the build-up of games, he chose to rest me for one game and Romelu came in and scored. Will Romelu be back? I don t know. We could be low on a few strikers next year.
